Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors have no plan to resume business activity and intend to liquidate the company when the full buy out of the pension fund is completed in the future. The annual report and financial statements have been produced on a basis other than that of a going concern taking this into consideration.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
